WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard. Use only the power cables supplied with
the system. Do not use power cables that are not properly rated for the
operation of this system.
An external line transformer is not needed for the mass spectrometer or roughing pump.
Protective Earth Conductor
The mains supply must include a correctly installed protective earth conductor. The protective earth conductor
must be installed or checked by a qualified electrician before the system is connected.
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not intentionally interrupt the
protective earth conductor. Any interruption of the protective earth conductor
creates an electrical shock hazard.

conductor (grounding cable) is connected between the sample loop and an
appropriate grounding point at the ion source. This supplementary grounding
will reinforce the safety configuration specified by SCIEX.
